Most likely the last fresh bouquet of the 2026 season. Just wanted to share this moment with you all. Now excuse me while I go cry. 😭

We were delighted to provide a celebratory floral arrangement for Great Northern Veterinarian Clinic twentieth anniversary. We have so much respect for this clinic and the exceptional care they provide to all the animals in our community. We believe no milestone is complete without flowers, and we were thrilled to help them celebrate two decades of service.

Pink may not be a traditional fall color, but I think it deserves a place in the season’s palette. It can feel moody, warm, and cozy all at once and I think these two jars of flowers capture that perfectly. What do you think? Does pink have a place among fall shades?

Fall cleanup is officially underway! We’ve let the chickens into the main garden, and our rooster, Pedro has already taken it upon himself to supervise the operation. The garden is currently a beautiful mess. We’re leaving some areas just as they are to feed the wildlife, but we are busy clearing the tunnels and annual beds to make room for tulips and spring planting.
We are also getting ready for the 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐕𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 | Bigfork, Montana Fall Festival on October 17th at the Swan River Community Hall in Bigfork. We would love for you to stop by! Come see our collection of beautiful wreaths and dried flowers, and stay to explore all the other amazing vendors who will be there. We hope to see you!

Tomorrow October 1st, we are officially opening subscriptions for our Summer 2027 Flower CSA!
For those new to the concept, CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It is a beautiful partnership. By subscribing now, your investment goes directly into the farm to fund the soil, seeds, and tools needed to grow a stunning season. This support is the backbone of our small operation and allows us to keep blooming. In return, you’ll receive a share of the bounty throughout the summer!
We are so grateful for your support and can’t wait to share next summer’s flower journey with you.

It’s apple season! Apples are my favorite fruit, and I have a couple of apple trees. This little one is always so productive, but this year it’s producing more than ever. Its branches are so heavy with fruit that they’re touching the ground!
I’m also looking forward to visiting other orchards and trying some new varieties. Did you know there are more than 7,500 different varieties of apples, and that apples are part of the rose family? Apple trees can live for a hundred years. In fact, the oldest known apple tree is over 200 years old!
We hope you get a chance to visit a local apple orchard and enjoy apple season.
